Guinea pigs tend to like carrots and hay over any type of food. Piggies need a constant supply of timothy hay to maintain proper digestion. Be careful that you don't give alfalfa hay by mistake. Some commercial feeds still contain alfalfa even though it's been found to be unhealthy.

lettuce and other greens like green beans and carrot tops but NOT ICEBERG LETTUCE it is bad for them.

The list is enormous, but the ones are best are romaine lettuce, spring mix, apples, Oranges, carrots, and celery. They need an unlimited supply of timothy hay. Also fresh water, they can have a treat called nibble rings which are very good for there teeth and plain pellet with no dried fruit or hay bits in it just pellets.

There are special grains from pet shops but you could also give them carrot, not too much lettuce or many other vegetables. They also eat grass.
